The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 101: Fire Upgrade

Bingbingzi was very efficient. She sent two pictures to Qin Huai at 4: in the morning. One was of Liu Tao wearing a costume and singing on the stage, and the other was of Liu Tao wearing a purple cheongsam and holding a lunch box.

The painting is good and the basic charm is captured. Perhaps because oral description is different from seeing with one's own eyes, the willow peach painted by Bingbingzi is only one-third of what Qin Huai saw.

Qin Huai immediately sent a voice message to Bing Bingzi asking her to modify the eyebrows and eyes, emphasizing the big and lively eyes and relatively ordinary facial features, and asked Bing Bingzi to try to draw the official first draft today.

Bingbingzi immediately replied to Qin Huai with a string of silent ellipsis.

Qin Huai felt that the other party was of good level and very talented, so he transferred another 8000 yuan as a deposit.

Bingbingzi: Got it, boss. Don't worry, I will definitely finish the first draft for you today!

Qin Huai went to work in the cafeteria with peace of mind.

Chen An was kneading dough. When he saw Qin Huai coming, he greeted him warmly and asked him what was wrong with his dough and why it was so different from Qin Huai's.

If it was two months ago, Qin Huai could only say here, here, there and here. It was mainly about feeling, you know?
Now, after professional training, Qin Huai can accurately measure the dough, water, hand strength, skills, and timing. He can talk about them all in detail and write a paper.

After Qin Huai's guidance for a few minutes, Chen An suddenly had an epiphany. He felt that this was the right job for him and he kneaded the dough more enthusiastically and seriously.

Qin Huai also started kneading the dough.

While he was kneading the dough, he asked Zhao Rong to prepare the ingredients for the tangerine peel, tremella and lotus seed soup. The tremella and lotus seeds had to be soaked in advance so that he could cook the tangerine peel, tremella and lotus seed soup after he finished making the first batch of breakfast.

"Mom, when Sister Xi comes, tell her to re-customize the brand of tangerine peel tea and change the selling price to 15 yuan." Qin Huai said.

Zhao Rong paused while holding the wolfberry, and asked tentatively with some embarrassment: "Huai Huai, our tangerine peel tea...isn't it worth this price?"

In Zhao Rong's opinion, although Qin Huai found a secret recipe from somewhere some time ago and slightly improved the way of cooking tangerine peel tea so that the taste of tangerine peel tea has become okay, tangerine peel tea is still tangerine peel tea.

Adding brown sugar and salt cannot change the fact that the dried tangerine peel can be served by simply boiling it in hot water.

This simple and crude drink is sold at 15 yuan a cup, which is a bit too profitable.

This is just pure profiteering, it will ruin your reputation.

Zhao Rong felt that this kind of trend should not be allowed to continue.

"Mom, what you are preparing now are the ingredients for tangerine peel tea." Qin Huai explained.

Under the surprised gazes of Chen An, Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen, Qin Huai nodded calmly and affirmed: "Yes, although its ingredients are a bit complicated and rich, and it looks a bit like tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup, this is indeed tangerine peel tea."

The tangerine peel tea produced by Liutao is qualified as long as it is D-level. The buff is very practical and warms people all day long. Whether it is physical warmth or spiritual warmth, it is a very heartwarming buff.

If you want physical warmth for the whole day, then tangerine peel tea will be an indispensable drink in the canteen in winter.

Not to mention that the buff of tangerine peel tea can be effective for 1314 times a day. The amount is large, and it would be a waste if it is not cooked in a big pot with stock.

On the menu, it must be on the menu, and it is a permanent guest.

After the first batch of morning jogging uncles came to the canteen for lunch and the first batch of three-dining buns, five-dining buns and glutinous rice rice cakes came out of the pot, Qinhuai started to make tangerine peel tea.

Boil in a large pot.

The word "big pot" may be a bit modest, to be more precise it is a big barrel.

Cooking such a large amount at one time requires completely different heat requirements than using a timer in a stew pot and cooking smaller portions.

There is no technical requirement to cook tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup in a stew pot, all you need is good hands.

However, using such a large pot to cook tangerine peel, white fungus and lotus seed soup requires certain control of the heat.

Qin Huai was very glad that he had been working overtime to practice cooking soup in a big pot.

The test questions are here, family members!
Is this what it feels like to guess the right answer? It’s so good!
Qin Huai poured the ingredients into a large barrel one by one, added water, turned on the fire, boiled them over high heat, stirred them, turned to low heat, and covered the pot. The series of actions were as smooth as flowing water.

Qin Huai felt that he had never had such a smooth time cooking beef soup, pork soup, duck soup, or making soup normally some time ago.

This feeling is just… the feeling is coming!
The feeling of making pastries as if with divine help, with everything under control and no need to worry about this or that, as long as you follow your instincts the result will be perfect is back!
Qin Huai hummed a little tune happily and continued to knead the dough.

I feel so good today, I should challenge myself by cooking mutton soup in the afternoon.

Hey, why do I feel so good today?

Could it be...

Qin Huai paused while kneading the dough, thought for a moment, and continued kneading the dough. He put the dough on the chopping board to let it slowly ferment, and then he went to the pot and turned his back to check the game panel.

Chen An, who was always keeping an eye on his boss's movements, saw Qin Huai suddenly start to move strangely. He was a little confused and asked Qin Congwen: "Uncle Qin, what's going on with Master Qin..."

"He is imagining that he has a system. Maybe he is checking whether there are any new side quests now." Zhao Rong continued to make wontons without being surprised.

Chen An: ???
Zhao Rong explained: "When Luoluo was little, Huaihuai lied to her that he had a system, and Luoluo really believed it, which caused a lot of embarrassment. Huaihuai has joked about this matter over the years, and often teases Luoluo in front of her. Maybe he is used to it. Now that Huaihuai runs a cafeteria, he is under a lot of work pressure, and often does this kind of tricks to relieve stress."

Chen An didn't understand and was greatly shocked.

A very niche way to relieve stress.

What a beautiful state of mind.

What an amazing boss family.

Chen An thought about it and decided that people should not try to understand things that they cannot understand, so he continued making dumplings. At the same time, Qin Huai was staring at the game panel in a daze.

At this moment, his game panel is:
Player Name: Qin Huai

Unlocked illustrations: 3/12

His temper escalated!

Oh my god, his white case skills were not upgraded, but his red case skills were upgraded first!
The soup these days was not consumed in vain, and Ouyang’s soup was not drunk in vain!
However, this game system has very strict requirements for the red case. Zhongji's cooking temperature is just barely acceptable, and Zhongji's dough fermentation is better than 99% of the breakfast shop chefs in the country.

The breakfast shop chef’s reputation was damaged.

but……

Qin Huai took a look at the dough kneaded by Chen An.

Maybe the dough kneading skills of breakfast shop chefs are generally not very good.

Qin Huai closed the game panel and continued kneading the dough.

There is a lot of work to do today.

In addition to the regular breakfast and snacks, there were also the crab shell roe, four-happiness dumplings, sesame cakes, white jade frost cakes, mung bean ice cream, elm bark steamed buns, locust flower steamed buns and three bags of fermented glutinous rice steamed buns that I promised Ouyang yesterday.

Even if these snacks are made in small quantities, it is impossible to make enough for Ouyang alone. There must be random drops.

Now that the heat has been increased, Qin Huai feels that it is time to challenge the difficult process of cooking mutton soup.

Ouyang goes to work at 9 o'clock in the morning.

He skipped work at 9:05 and came to Yunzhong Canteen to buy breakfast.

He came at the right time, of course, also because Qin Huai knew him well enough and he calculated the timing very accurately. When Ouyang walked into the cafeteria, the crab shell roe had just come out of the oven.

The air is filled with the unique wheat aroma brought by baking.

Ouyang took a deep breath in ecstasy and felt that it was a wonderful day.

Oh my god, happiness came so suddenly. If only Qin Huai could have more seizures like he did yesterday afternoon, and ask him what he wants to eat the next day.

Qin Huai had already prepared breakfast for Ouyang.

"Here, your breakfast is four-happiness dumplings with crab shell yellow. Come back in 15 minutes to get the tangerine peel tea, and bring one for Sister Hong as well."

"Yes, sir!"

Ouyang was drooling as he looked at the steaming four-happiness dumplings and asked, "What about lunch?"

"Elm bark buns, sesame cakes, and white jade cream."

"Mung bean ice cream is a snack for drinking soup in the afternoon. You can take the locust flower buns and fermented rice steamed buns back home and eat them slowly."

Ouyang felt that a happy life was just like this.

"What kind of soup do you want to drink this afternoon?" Ouyang asked casually.

"I'm going to cook something different this afternoon, mutton soup."

The happy life came to an abrupt end.

Ouyang: ???
"Mutton...mutton soup?" Ouyang was so scared that he stuttered.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Qin Huai’s level, but that he knows Qin Huai’s level too well.

Last time I was able to drink soup while sitting in the duck pen, I could barely accept it, but I really can’t drink soup in the sheep pen, sir.

Ouyang realized that today's snack was actually medical expenses.

After thinking it over, Ouyang gritted his teeth and said, "Drink!"

"My favorite drink is mutton soup!"
